Yeah. Harrison was drafted because 1) he fell that far and represents value at the pick, and  -
2) he is (on paper) a younger version of Barry Church that will clear Church's salary from the books in 2019. 

If they put him at FS my jaw would hit the floor. Not gonna happen.

Also - the Gipson haters are odd to me. Dude had maybe 9 plays all year where he was caught out. Beyond those he played quite well I thought. I'm all about drafting a cheaper (and maybe more talented) FS next year, but Gipson is certainly not terrible.

My favourite trait of Harrison's is his ability in zone to react and diagnose what's happening. That's like 70% of what I want our SS to be good at and that's one of Church's best attributes too. 

It is odd. How long have we been looking for a Gipson type at safety? Granted a lot of his work won't be immediately seen on the backend but he's a vital cog. I'm happy Wash adapted his role to Gipsons liking too. He barely missed any tackles and was elite when covering in the slot.
